SABC Digital News

Zimbabwe’s election credibility is already under scrutiny, only a week after President Emmerson Mnangagwa proclaimed the 30th of July the election date. According to a Human Rights’ Watch report, the ability of voters to choose their leaders freely in this crucial poll is in serious doubt. It says the government has failed to carry out legal and electoral reforms, despite President Mnangagwa’s repeated promises and assurances for a free, fair and credible poll. Human Rights’ Watch says abusive laws remain in effect.
